If you haven't heard yet, you will soon. Beginning September 2, and continuing on a daily basis Monday though Friday, 11am to 1pm, protesters will begin to converge on the Well Fargo building at 100 W. Washington Street in downtown Phoenix to protest Sheriff Joe Arpaio's reign of terror and error. The Wells Fargo Tower, as it's often referred to, is Joe's Pentagon, if you will, his swank, gold-trimmed epicenter of all evil.

Cops from the Mesa, Phoenix, and Tucson police departments have departed to Minneapolis to "assist with security" during the RNC protests this week. This is a negative development for the comrades and folks taking to the streets of St. Paul as the federal government pays for police agencies from around the country to assist in state repression. This is also bad for the residents of the Arizona agencies traveling to St. Paul as this is also being used as an opportunity for these cops to train for massive civil unrest, most likely in the case that one of these cities will be hosting a large scale political event in the near future.

“I heard somebody saying, ‘They’re coming, they’re coming!’ And feet pounding on the back stairs, pounding on the door saying they had a search warrant. They busted through the door. They’ve got their guns cocked at people.” Sammy Schutz held tightly to five-year-old Gabe, who had been watching a video with his mother and father and about 20 other people when the police stormed into 827 Smith Avenue in St. Paul, ordering everyone down on the floor.

Bending under pressure from the Bush Administration, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed an earlier decision which halted plans to make sewer water into snow for San Francisco Peaks, sacred to 13 Native American Nations. On San Francisco Peaks, medicine men hold ceremonies and gather medicine plants for healing.

Domestication and sedentization are not processes that were only imposed on "primitive" peoples; these processes occurred in Europe as well. Latin American nomads and European vagabonds experienced similar repression but by different means. Missions and prisons served similar functions: they settled the roamers and put them to work. Now, there are many all too familiar ways to regulate or fix movement. Here in the US, incarceration rates are skyrocketing. The computerization of biometrics is a new weapon in the State’s arsenal that greatly increases the accuracy with which they can identify human beings: this facilitates incarceration and immigration control.

The number of folks in my field of vision who’ve been rounded up since mid-June is startling, and I feel compelled to write about them here. Though they might appear in the news as a series of disparate, isolated incidents, I think my friends’ stories indicate a broader pattern of police repression that’s all too common--particularly against activists of color.

Hours after flying on a rickety 19-seater propeller plane and landing on a dirt strip, you get to the village of San Buenaventura in the heart of the Bolivian Amazon. Here, in a simple one-storey brick house next to a row of wooden shacks, is the home of Antonio Garcia Baron. He is the only survivor still alive of the anarchist Durruti column which held Francoist forces at bay in Madrid during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the founder of an anarchist community in the heart of the jungle.

Big ups to the artist(s) hitting the streets of west Mesa with their anti-Joe/pro-immigrant stencil, keep up the good work and let's see more of those stencils around town!
Included in this article is a re-posting of the original article from the KPHO 5, the CBS affiliate. However, this article is so fucking wack it deserves a disclaimer. First, calling Sheriff Joe a "nazi" does not qualify it as hate graffiti, it's just telling the truth. Second, it looks like the idiot who wrote the piece for channel 5 did not even see the photos of the stenciled message as it clearly does not say "neo Nazi."
It almost makes one think "Does channel 5 even get it that the taggers are calling Joe a nazi and why he deserves such a title?"
Once again, fuck the corporate media.

One of the news reporters stated that the drama surrounding the sheriff’s sweeps in Mesa was like “Cop vs. Cop”. The news was more about the disagreement between county sheriff joe arpaio and mesa police chief gascon. If you watched some of the video footage, you could see arpaio so pissed you figure any moment he’s going to snap. He claims that gascon tried to stop him from doing his sweeps, although it’s not clear exactly how. Gascon claims that the sheriff was putting the people of mesa and his officers in danger, which I think is an interesting assertion. The cop on cop action overshadowed the real injustices occurring, yet anytime the cops are brawling, it’s usually a good thing for the people.

The US Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics released two new reports Friday detailing increased populations in American jails and prisons. The reports show that the US prison population increased by 1.5 percent from mid-year 2006 to mid-year 2007, compared with 2 percent growth in the previous reporting period.
